Ever felt like a third wheel? Well, Alex does. Even though her friends Riley and Elliot are terrific, they’re so close and, well…she’s not. The three friends fall into a fairy land where everyone finds their “half”—that special person that makes you feel complete! Only…the magic that weaves such friendships is starting to dissolve, thanks to the Wizard going missing. With the magic gone, people (and creatures) are disappearing. The halves of the missing folks are desperate to help the three friends solve the riddles, but the secrets overlaying these disappearances are making everything so convoluted. Will they find the Wizard? Can anything heal the land and reunite the pairs? This fantastical story emphasizes friendship, loyalty, and the importance of loving yourself.

Rehearsals for The Disappearance

Rehearsals begin around March 11, 2019. We will likely have two casts. Cast A will rehearse 5:30-7:00 pm Mondays/Thursdays, and 2:30-4:00 pm on Saturdays. Cast B will rehearse 7:00-8:30 Mondays/Thursdays, and 1:00-2:30 on Saturdays. After classes have concluded in October, Saturday rehearsals will be 10:00 am-11:30 am for Cast B and 11:00 am-1:00 pm.

If your child has smaller part, you can expect 1-2 rehearsals a week; if they have a medium part, 2-3 rehearsals a week. If they have a large part, they should expect to attend all three rehearsals each week.
